For our 125th anniversary on 7 April we’d like to sit everyone down for a four-course dinner with wine. The price will be slightly higher than usual at £20 per head. We will need to be serving by 1pm so please do plan to be at the club by 12.30.

As this is to be such a spectacular event, we will be asking for details of all who will be coming and seeking payment up front. Those of you booking tables, Chris Wheal will be in touch with a form for you to let me know the names of your guests and how to pay.

Old players welcome

We really want to make this a celebration of those who have worn the red and white shirt of Charlton Park – the rugby players of Charlton Park who played with all their might.

Please, find at least one former player and invite them.

If you were part of a legendary front row, find your old hooker or props and get them down here. Second rows, find your old jumping partner. Back row, see if you can find that missing flanker (that’s not rhyming slang).

If you were half a of a dynamic half-back pairing, find your fellow golden hands. If you were in a set of unstoppable and unbreakable backs, get your fellow centres, wings and fullbacks to join us.

We want as many former players as we can find.

We will also have live entertainment on in the evening so get your family and friends to come along and join us after the match too.

Let Chris Wheal know as early as you can who is coming. We might have to do a bit of wedding reception-style seating planning to get everyone in and old teammates together. Let’s make this a special day.
